Just got this. Nice packing. Many more features than I expected for the price. Great instructions. Easy to set up. Hooked to LP tank and fired right up. Really low running sound compared to my old smaller gas one. Easy and light to move with the large wheels and padded handle. Now I cant wait for a power failure.
This is my first ever portable generator, and am very impressed with how easy it is to set up and use. Rock solid construction, starts right up, runs well. It is a bit on the loud side, but that's to be expected. I really like that this model has dual fuel options, it can run on gasoline or propane. I find it a lot easier to store propane that gasoline, but it's great to have the gasoline option in a pinch.
I bought this generator after a power outage, at my age of 64 I never want to live through another power outage again and this is my security only from Westinghouse
We couldn't have timed this purchase better, bought is on Sunday for our new home and that Wed we had a severe storm that knocked our power out for 3 days...very happy how this product performed, no flicker lights and long run on one tank.
I had been looking at electric start generators for some time. My old pull start had become hard to start in its old age and mine as well. Got frustrated and wanted electric start. Living in an area with frequent outages it was only a matter of time until I needed it. This day was a +100 degree run and we were out for 2 days. I went to the store to find this generator to be the only one in stock. No my first choice or the one I had did research but my only choice. Glad it was. Set up was very easy (wow it weighs a ton) not a one person load or unload but the extending handle and large wheels make it easy for one person to move. I love the remote start and how quickly it responds. It does not require a separate ground and is quieter than my old generator. Not that it is campground quiet but won’t drown you out talking next to it. I have not ran it at full capacity yet since I’m in the break in time frame but I sure it will handle it well. Very nice design and features. Glad it was my only choice. I did look online afterwards and noted very positive responses.
